Cadillac Escalade
The default choice for Chicago executive travel. Commanding presence, a cabin quiet enough for a call on the Kennedy, and enough room for six with luggage.

Vetted · Supervised · On Time
The night they will remember, handled by adults they will not have to think about. Stretch limousines and Sprinter vans with background-checked chauffeurs and a policy parents can read.
Prom chauffeur service in Chicago is a safety product first and a photo opportunity second. Every prom reservation carries a background-checked chauffeur, an adult of record on the booking, a written no-alcohol policy, and a phone number that a parent can call at any point during the night.
We run prom across Chicagoland every April and May, from Whitney Young and Lane Tech in the city out to Naperville North, Hinsdale Central, New Trier, Oak Park and River Forest, Sandburg in Orland Park and Fenwick. The routing question is always the same: dinner, photos, venue, after-party, home. We handle all five, with the same chauffeur.
Safety First, Then the Night
Everything a parent needs to sign off, and everything a student wants to remember.
Every chauffeur is commercially licensed, background checked and drug tested. They stay with the vehicle all night and do not leave the group unattended.
No alcohol, no vaping, no controlled substances, no exceptions. The chauffeur ends the booking and contacts the adult of record if the policy is broken.
An adult of record is named on every prom reservation and receives the chauffeur's name, vehicle, plate and direct number before the night begins.
Dinner, photos, venue, after-party, home. Stops are agreed in advance with the adult of record and the chauffeur does not add destinations on request.
Stretch limousine with fiber-optic lighting and a sound system, or a fourteen-passenger Sprinter that keeps the whole group in one place.
Hourly service means the car waits outside the venue. Nobody arranges a ride home at midnight, and no student gets in a stranger's vehicle.
How It Works
An adult books it. The students enjoy it. Everybody knows the plan.
A parent or guardian is named as the adult of record, provides a contact number, and confirms the itinerary and the group size.
Pickup addresses, the dinner reservation, the photo stop, the venue and the return. The chauffeur receives the same document you do.
Name, photo, vehicle and plate sent to the adult of record before pickup. The chauffeur introduces themselves at the first address.
The car waits at every stop. At the end of the night each student is returned to the address on file, not to a corner.
Millennium Park · Photo StopThe Chicago Prom Route
Chicago prom nights follow a predictable arc, and that predictability is the safety feature. Group pickup at one or two addresses. Dinner, usually downtown or in the group's own suburb. Photographs at Millennium Park, the Riverwalk, Buckingham Fountain or the Adler lakefront path. The venue. Then home.
Our chauffeurs are given that itinerary in writing and do not deviate from it. If a student asks to be dropped somewhere that is not on the sheet, the answer is a phone call to the adult of record.
That sounds strict because it is. It is also why the same Chicago families book us for a younger sibling three years later.
The Fleet
Stretch limousine for the entrance. Sprinter van when the whole group rides together.

The default choice for Chicago executive travel. Commanding presence, a cabin quiet enough for a call on the Kennedy, and enough room for six with luggage.

Understated and lounge-smooth. Reclining second-row captain's chairs make it the quiet favorite for long Loop-to-suburb runs.

Extended wheelbase, real third-row legroom and the deepest cargo hold in the SUV tier. Built for airport runs where nobody holds a bag on their lap.

The value pick. Same seven seats, same chauffeur, same flat rate, a little less badge. Popular with families flying out of Midway.

Stand-up cabin, executive seating and luggage racks. One vehicle instead of three for board offsites, wedding parties and convention groups.

The occasion car. Wraparound leather, fiber-optic lighting and a bar console for weddings, prom and Chicago nights that deserve an entrance.
Starting prices in USD before taxes and gratuity. Your final flat rate depends on route, date, hours and vehicle. Each vehicle is shown with and without a professional chauffeur.

| Group Size | Suggested Vehicle | How the Hourly Rate Splits |
|---|---|---|
| 4 to 6 students | Cadillac Escalade | One SUV, split six ways |
| 6 to 7 students | GMC Yukon XL | Extra legroom and a third row that adults fit in |
| 8 to 10 students | Lincoln Stretch Limousine | The classic, and the one photographs remember |
| 10 to 14 students | Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van | Everybody in one vehicle, stand-up cabin, no convoy |
| 15 to 28 students | Two Sprinter vans | Both chauffeurs coordinate as one booking |
| Mixed group | SUV plus Sprinter | Priced as one reservation on one invoice |
Split across a full vehicle, a Chicago prom night is usually cheaper per student than most people assume.
For Parents
You get the chauffeur's name, photo, vehicle and plate before pickup. You get the itinerary in writing. You get a direct number. If anything deviates from the plan, you get a call before anything else happens.
Chicagoland Prom Season
City and suburban schools, and the venues and photo stops in between.
Whitney Young, Lane Tech, Northside College Prep, Jones and Payton. Downtown venues, short runs, tight loading zones.
Naperville North and Central, Hinsdale Central, Wheaton North and Warrenville. Long suburban drives to downtown venues.
New Trier, Evanston Township, Glenbrook and Lake Forest. The Edens is the whole route, and it is worse than it looks on a Saturday.
Sandburg in Orland Park, Lincoln-Way, Marist and Brother Rice. Most groups head downtown, some stay along the I-355 corridor.
Downtown steakhouses, Greektown, Little Italy and the group's own suburb. The car waits, so the reservation time is the only clock.
Hotel ballrooms, Navy Pier, the Field Museum and suburban banquet halls. After-parties only if they are on the agreed itinerary.
Why Chicago Books Us
Six answers to the questions parents actually ask.
Background checks and drug testing on every chauffeur, not a self-reported form. Certificates of insurance available on request.
No alcohol, no vaping, no substances. Our chauffeurs end bookings over this, and have. It is not a paragraph in a terms page.
The adult of record receives the chauffeur's details before pickup and a call if anything changes. You do not have to text your kid for updates.
The itinerary is agreed in advance. A request to go somewhere else results in a phone call to you, not a detour.
Hourly service means the car is outside the venue when the night ends and every student is driven to the address on file.
Rideshare pricing on a Saturday in May at 11:30 PM is exactly what you would expect. Our hourly rate was set when you booked.
Common Questions
For parents, students and anyone organizing a group.
Prom transportation in Chicago is booked hourly. A Lincoln stretch limousine and a fourteen-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter both start at $140 per hour, a Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator at $95 per hour and a GMC Yukon XL at $92. Prom bookings carry a minimum number of hours. Split across a full vehicle, the per-student cost is usually lower than families expect, and it is fixed at booking rather than exposed to surge pricing at 11:30 on a Saturday night in May.
An adult of record, meaning a parent or guardian, must be named on every prom reservation and must provide a contact number. Students may plan the night and choose the vehicle, but the reservation, the itinerary and the payment sit with an adult. That adult receives the chauffeur's name, photo, vehicle and license plate before pickup, along with the written itinerary, and is the person the chauffeur calls if anything at all departs from the plan.
There is none permitted, at all, and the chauffeur enforces it. No alcohol, no vaping, no controlled substances in the vehicle, regardless of what any passenger says about their age. If the policy is broken, the chauffeur stops the booking, contacts the adult of record and, if necessary, returns the group home. There is no refund in that circumstance. We say this plainly at booking because it is the reason a lot of Chicago families choose us.
Only if the after-party is on the written itinerary agreed by the adult of record before the night begins. Our chauffeurs do not add destinations on a student's request. If the group asks to go somewhere that is not on the sheet, the chauffeur calls the adult of record and follows their instruction. At the end of the night, every student is returned to the home address listed on the reservation, not dropped at an intersection or a friend's block.
A Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator seats up to six comfortably, and a GMC Yukon XL or Ford Expedition seats seven with real third-row legroom. The Lincoln stretch limousine seats up to ten in wraparound leather with fiber-optic lighting and a sound system. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats up to fourteen with a stand-up cabin, which keeps a large group together in one vehicle rather than convoying. Groups above fourteen book two vehicles on one reservation.
As soon as your school announces the date. April and May Saturdays are the most compressed inventory of the year, and the stretch limousine is always the first vehicle to sell out. Chicagoland has hundreds of high schools running proms across roughly six weekends, and the entire regional fleet books against them. Reserve two to four months out for a Saturday. Weeknight and Friday events are usually available closer in.
Yes, across the whole region. We run prom for schools in the city, in Naperville, Hinsdale, Wheaton, Oak Park, Evanston, Lake Forest, Arlington Heights, Schaumburg and Orland Park, among many others. Suburban groups usually travel downtown for dinner, photographs and the venue, which means an hour of driving before the night has really begun. Hourly service is the right format for that, because the car waits rather than being rebooked at each stop.
Tell the chauffeur, who will call the adult of record for approval. Additional time is billed at the same hourly rate in defined increments with no penalty rate. Because the vehicle is assigned to your reservation, extensions are usually possible, but on a peak prom Saturday the vehicle may be committed to another group immediately after yours. If that is the case we tell you at booking so you can add the hours in advance rather than discover the limit at midnight.
Ask whether chauffeurs are background checked and drug tested, and ask for it in writing. Ask for a certificate of insurance showing commercial liability limits, because a personal auto policy with a rideshare endorsement is not the same instrument. Ask whether the company holds a valid Illinois commercial carrier authority.
Then ask the operational questions that determine what actually happens on the night. Is there a written alcohol policy and who enforces it? Is an adult named on the reservation? Will the chauffeur add stops at a student's request? Where is each student returned at the end of the night? Is there a number a parent can call at 11 PM? Our answers are yes, yes, no, to the address on file, and yes.
A point-to-point booking drops the group at the venue and leaves. Whatever happens at 11:40 PM is then somebody's problem to solve, usually a seventeen-year-old's, usually with a phone app, usually on a night when surge pricing is at its most enthusiastic.
Hourly service keeps the chauffeur and the vehicle with the group for the entire night. The car is outside the venue when the dance ends. Nobody negotiates a ride. Nobody splits up. Nobody gets into a stranger's vehicle. The vehicle then runs the return route through each student's home address. The cost difference between the two formats is small. The difference in what can go wrong is not.
The Lincoln stretch limousine is the vehicle prom photographs are built around. It seats ten in wraparound leather, has fiber-optic cabin lighting, a sound system and a bar console we serve with ice and water only. It is hourly-only and it is the first thing to sell out in April.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats fourteen, has a stand-up cabin so dresses and hair survive the drive, and keeps a larger group in a single vehicle rather than a two-car convoy that arrives fifteen minutes apart. For groups over ten, it is the better answer, and many Chicago groups now prefer it outright. Groups above fourteen book two vehicles under one reservation, coordinated by dispatch.
Chicagoland prom season runs across roughly six Saturdays in April and May, and the entire region's limousine and van inventory is spoken for during them. Every high school in Cook, DuPage, Lake and Will County is competing for the same fleet on the same handful of nights.
Book the moment your school publishes the date. Rates do not rise during prom season here, which is a deliberate policy rather than a promotion, but availability collapses. If your group is over ten people, book earlier still, because Sprinter vans and stretch limousines are the two vehicle classes that go first and the two that a large group actually needs.
